If your font cache gets corrupted, (e.g. when Suitcase previews Fonts incorrectly, or Flash is unable to show antialiased fonts), open the Terminal and type:
% cd /System/Library/Caches/
% sudo rm -f *
Helped eliminate a problem for me here.
[Editor's note: I tested this even though I wasn't having any font problems, and nothing bad happened, but I can't verify that it does anything useful until I have a font issue. If anyone else uses this hint to resolve a font problem, please let us know how well it worked.]
